Esther kept an eye on Banabe, until he did make it up the stairs to the fourth floor, and then Esther turned to Mattio: "I'll go get the things I want you to help with divination first, you wait for me." ”

Matteo nodded: "What a strange person, do you often deal with such people?" ”

"Don't underestimate him, if he's looking for a mermaid, it's likely that he's preparing for promotion to Sequence Five."

Vika nodded in a trance: "I see......"

He was still distracted by what had just happened.

Esther walked into her room and smiled at Matteo, "If you're a strange person, you're one too." ”

"Hey!"

A few minutes later, Esther walked into Vika's room with the bud in her hand.

Vika was holding a few pieces of paper, sitting at the head of her bed against the wall, reading what was written on it. Matteo sat calmly at his desk, his hands rubbing against his parents' rings, unrecognizable of what he was thinking.

Esther could have stolen out the thoughts in his head, but she didn't gossip to that extent, and Matteo's hesitation and confusion were so great that she could guess most of them even with just reasoning.

"Do you need anything to help you with your divination? Ritual magic? Crystal ball or pendulum? ”

Matteo picked up the small palm-sized mirror in front of him and showed it to Esther, who had just been blocked by his arm: "I brought props." ”

"It's risky to ask in the mirror, is your divination point reliable?"

"Well, I've done divination many times."

Matteo didn't directly reach out to pick up the bud that Esther handed over: "Why do you just take it like that?" Isn't this thing an extraordinary material! ”

"yes, what's the problem?" Esther looked at her hand, "Don't worry, I've got a little force on it to suppress it, try it first, and if it affects the divination results, I'll remove it for a short time." ”

"You put it on the table first."

Matteo maintained the necessary caution, although the two had only been dealing for two days, he had already noticed that the mysterious lady on the other side had a somewhat inscrutable way of thinking, which was very different from ordinary people.

Matteo untied the black ring around his neck, plucked one of his own hairs with his hand, wrapped it around the ring, and held it tightly in his palm.

A black, eerie flame rose between his fingers, burning in his fist, but quickly extinguished after a few seconds.

Matteo's outstretched palms were stained with a little ash, but they stuck to the surface of his skin as he lifted his arm, not falling off a bit.

He placed his left hand on the bud, and his right hand, stained with ashes, pressed the ring against it, and drew a symbol beside the ring that Esther had never seen.

Matteo whispered his question in Old Hermes: "What is the use of this bud, what is the use of this bud......"

A layer of black streamers swayed on the mirror and the ring at the same time, and between the ripples on the surface of the water, the words of the ancient Hermes gradually appeared on the mirror, but they seemed very scattered:

"Escape into the ground, druid, plant, transform into a tree......"

The words that followed gradually distorted, and then all the words turned into ripples together, sinking into the depths of the mirror, regaining calm.

Matteo lifted both hands, twisted the ring, and carefully wiped away the ashes from it.

Esther touched her chin, "Druids sound weird." ”

There are druids in this world too? Does an extraordinary sequence correspond to an ability? Why do these potions, or the names of the Extraordinary, often have the illusion of being out of this era?

Most of them seem to have been handed down from the Tertiary period, and the ancient name of Silver City is even closer to the design style of the game class......

"I think I've heard it," Vika suddenly interjected, "it seems like the name of some potion recipe." ”

Esther and Matteo looked surprised: "Have you heard?" ”

Vika patted his chest: "Yes, after all, I've been to many places with the 'Axe', and there are everyone in the sea, so it's okay to know this." ”

"I'm guessing you don't know which path this is, and you don't know what the sequence is." Matteo scathingly punctured Vika's smugness.

Esther nodded at Matteo: "Thank you for your help, at least I have some clues, do you have any need for payment?" ”

Matteo didn't expect Esther to take the initiative to bring this up, and after a little hesitation, he picked up the black ring: "Can you help me bless the seal for a longer time?" ”

He really didn't want to talk at the top of his throat every day.

Esther half sighed and half smiled and said, "Don't worry, a single press can last for almost a week to ten days, and it won't lose its effect so quickly." What else? ”

Matteo's expression moved: "Then tell me your name." ”

Esther was stunned, her stunned look made Mattio feel extremely satisfied, and she felt a sense of harvest after shattering Teyana's shell and seeing the juice flowing from it.

Then Esther shook her head at him, "Before you read out my—"

She bit her tongue to stop the emotional sentence that had crossed her head and reached her mouth.

But Matteo, who was more perceptive, noticed something special in Esther's words: "Yours? Do you want me to read your honorable name? ”

Esther tilted her mouth, "Not exactly, this is the experiment I want to do, I don't know if that honorable name will point to me." ”

Vika crossed his arms and leaned against the bed with a look of amusement: "This is your deal, I thought it would be complicated, you said it so mysteriously." ”

Matteo gave Vika a sneering eye stab: "Aren't you afraid?" I thought you should have known this, and reciting the name at will attract the gaze of an unknown being. ”

"If she gave it to me, I don't care," Vika said lightly, showing complete heartfelt carelessness, "I've been through enough horrible things because of her relationship, what could be stranger?" ”

Esther couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth, Vika's "Buddhist" mentality coincided with the path Esther wanted him to take.

This calmed Esther's mood gradually, and she raised her head and nodded at herself with her thumb: "Hamel Brooke, are you satisfied now?" ”

Pseudonyms, but the only names with "proof of identity", which does not conflict.

"You're acting like the Intis." Matteo looked away, but Esther caught a glimpse of the disdain in his eyes.

"You can see that I am imitating his virtue." Esther sat down on the empty single couch next to her and found a position where she could rest comfortably on the armrests, "But how do you know he's an Intius?" ”

The corners of Matteo's eyes twitched visibly: "Intuition." ”

"I don't see anything too special about him, he doesn't have much of an accent in Vrsack, and his looks are closer to the people here." Esther counted the performance of the dark-haired man, Barnabe, who had made a very maverick impression on her.

Vika was hesitant about this judgment: "I don't think he resembles an Intius in any way, and if he is too arrogant in his words and deeds, it is not impossible." ”

Esther suddenly remembered Barnabe's sequence: "Yes, his path is organized in Intis ......"

Vika was at a loss: "Then why did he run out alone?" ”

"It's more important to ask for help from your organization for promotion, and get paid for your contributions, which is generally the same process within the church where my father worked." Matteo restringed the black ring and hung it around his neck.

Esther understands this: "Yes, the Orthodox Church is like this, and the secret organization is actually similar. It's strange that he swaggered to Nas to find a mermaid like this, and was so bored that he bullied a gambler. ”

"Maybe it's trying to hide from someone else's promotion, like I would do," Vika said this, pausing for two seconds in embarrassment, "but I don't have to follow the Axe anymore, I don't have to worry about it now." ”

Matteo stared at Vika with a new look: "This is indeed a reasonable idea, you don't seem to be as stupid as you seem?" ”

"I'm not stupid!" Vika subconsciously retorted, but didn't think of what words to use to fight back against Matteo.

Esther got up from the couch and yawned, she didn't feel sleepy, she just had to put the bud away, and then go back to the house and write to Klein:

"You talk slowly, and I'll trouble you to teach Vika more, Matteo."

Matteo, of course, casually agreed: "No problem, you can check his learning results at any time tomorrow." ”

"Anyway, it's not you who will be threatened, right!?" Vika grumbled in annoyance, and then met Esther's disapproving gaze, "I know, I'll try to learn, these simple things may save my life one day." ”

"If you have such a cognition, then I am much more relieved." Esther glanced in the direction of the window, but didn't see anything particularly noticeable.

She didn't ignore the momentary perception just now, and walked firmly to the window, and after pushing open the glass window, a cool breeze immediately blew into the room from the outside, gently stirring the curtains.

Esther immediately found the source that attracted her, a dusty moth, and as she pulled up the window, flapped its wings to fly into the room and hide behind the curtains.

This is unreasonable, according to the place where it was staying, the frightened insect should want to stay away from the window, even if it is riding the direction of the wind, it should fly directly into the house.

Esther frowned and grabbed the moth between her index finger and thumb. After shaking vigorously twice, the moth suddenly lowered its wings and stopped struggling completely.

Esther throws the moth's corpse out of the window, then closes the window again.

"What's wrong?" Matteo noticed that Esther looked strange and asked.

"Nothing, a little bug." Esther grabbed the bud on the table and walked to the door, "I'll go back to the house first." ”

After the door closed, Matteo walked over to the window and stood where Esther had opened it, but he didn't notice anything wrong.
